Robbie was born in Waverly, Florida (Polk County) on October 29, 1959.  She enjoyed all the pleasures of growing up in the Sunshine State.  She moved to Rochester in her early teens and attended Monroe High School. During the school year she played softball, soccer, basketball and volleyball. 

When the summer began she played slo-pitch softball with Carol Columbo (Al's Green).   She then played with Dave's Mobile until she reached the cut off age of 18.  At age 18, while working at Xerox Corp. she was introduced to Bill Dumphy and his assistant Don.  She played under them with a team called the Imperials for several years.  Then she went to play for a team called Pace Electronics / Wintonaire under Mr. McCoy (Duane). While playing under him she learned so much more about the game that it took her game to another level. 

She won several awards in her career including MVP, All-Star, All-Tournament and All-World team selection and numerous championships. 

Robbie is now a member of a different kind of team.  She now attends the Greater Harmony Missionary Baptist Church, where she is a member of the trustee board and youth activities committee.
